If they are healthy, nice animals the price is fine. If you like them that is what is most important.

Thanks and are those localties of the same snake or different species?and I breed them together even if they were different subspecies they would still be just a varialbe king right?

No they are not the same thing.

San Luis Potisi King = Lampropeltis mexicana mexicana. Also sometimes known as the Mexican King.

Nuevo Leon King = Lampropeltis mexicana "thayeri". The quotation marks mean the name is not currently accepted by scientists. Among hobbyists, however, the name is generally considered valid. This snake is also sometimes called the Thayer's King or the Variable King.

It would be wise if you could somehow take pictures of these snakes you are interested in buying and showing them here so we can tell you if we think they are legit. Many snakes sold as those are actually misidentified hybrids. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with hybrids but you probably want to get what you pay for and not something else.
